Proud to announce that from today, we officially become University of Staffordshire - @UniofStaffs. This is more than a name change – it marks a new chapter focused on future ambitions, innovation and being a place of possibility for all.

Go skiing, throw a pot, see an unusual version of Romeo and Juliet and be called ‘ducky’ 17 times — all in the course of a single afternoon in Stoke-on-Trent

We are so thankful, moved and proud of Fin’s fellow cyclists today for making a stand at the Tour of Lombardy. Things need to change and no other family should ever receive the phone call we received on 14th Aug. We sincerely hope the UCI are listening and changes will be made.
